TO a correspondent who recently sollc-

css wrote: "Thele is nothing more
painful 10 contemplate than 4 picture
of ones self in book or newspaper. If
one is a beauty ones reputation is m

ones good looks, the consequences are
that ones secret hopes are blasted, and
ones most timid and modest conf
dcnce in ones self forever 4 ruin"

was 50 widely read and enjoyed both
here and in Germany, makes his ap

charming stories, translated into ex-

their simplicity, delicate in sentiment,
sparkling in humor and suggestive in
moral. The volume comes from the
